            Whereas, The infant mortality rate in Michigan is higher than that of the United States; and

            Whereas, Sleep-related infant deaths and SIDS have a considerable impact on the infant mortality rate in Michigan; and

            Whereas, Infant Safe Sleep efforts have provided education and information for infant caregivers and continue to address the disparity in infant mortality rates; and

            Whereas, Safe sleep practice is an important intervention for ensuring the safety and survival of infants; and

            Whereas, Infant Safe Sleep Month will raise awareness and promote the Infant Safe Sleep initiatives throughout the state; and

            Whereas, The Michigan Senate recognizes the Infant Safe Sleep objectives as worthy ones and encourages the fight against infant mortality in the promise of a better tomorrow for Michigan babies; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the Senate, That we hereby recognize September 2009 as Infant Safe Sleep Month; and be it further

            Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Tomorrow's Child with our highest esteem.
